Smoked three days ago and still feel some effects. So scared, please help!

[jessicalynnxox]

So about three days ago I went to my friends house in the morning and took one HUGE hit of northern lights weed. I'm a beginner so I didn't know if I was doing it right or wrong.. but I've smoked before and what happened this time has never even come close to happening before. I got this huge pressure on my head and my vision started to blurr.. everything was going super slow. I freaked out and my heart started racing and I felt like I was gonna black out many many times. The more I freaked out the worse it got.. I seriously felt like I was gonna die. I got in the bath, layed in bed, then finally got the strength to walk back to the car and go home. It's been three days since that and although I don't feel like I'm gonna black out.. I get dizzy from time to time and my eyesight is still blurry, it hasn't come back and I'm terrified it won't. I had these thoughts before like this is all a dream and that maybe I'm not really here. Those are kind of gone.. but it's mainly my eyesight im worried about. Please tell me everything is fine and this has happened to some of you!

Northern Lights can be a strong strain if grown correctly.
Sounds like you had a big anxiety attack. It happens to all of us at sometime. I had a bad one with a new strain about a year ago. The important thing is to always remember that cannabis is harmless, it will not and can not kill you or hurt you in any way. You just smoked a very good strain that you were probably weren't ready for the effects.
I would just take it easy with some of the more powerful strains till you are more acclimated to there effects.

It was probably just some good stuff. If you are GOOD friends with someone who smokes chances are you're not a beginner. So that being said I think its safe to assume you dont know this person all that well and whatever you smoked could have been laced with something else. Too many factors and not enough information.

But in regards to my eyesight.. Is it normal to still have blurred vision and dizziness ? Im worried it's permanent

[painretreat]

:wtf:Blurred vision and dizziness days after toking? No way is that normal. What else did you do that day? Or days before? What have you done since? Get any sleep? You may need to sleep it off! Have you ever had your vision checked?

Driving while dizzy and blurred vision, not o.k! Any headache? Could be a number of things unrelated to pot!

:what:The vision & dizziness, could be a sign of other things. Like already said, "not enough information!" Could be you are more aware of what is going on with your body right now and you already had it to some degree!

Sometimes at certain ages, some disease/illness surface. Not saying you have a disease or illness here! But, there is a possibility! When was your last physical? Ever had anything remotely like this independently of each other? If it persists, I would go to my Doc! Depending on your relationship with your doc, it is best to be honest! However, he/she will blame pot for this if they do not know what it is. It is not the weed! Either way, go get it checked out and if you don't get resolution go to a different doc!

:detective1:These symptoms can be something more serious and need medical attention! Is it getting worse? Too risky not to seek medical attention!

So Sorry, can't be more of help to you and I did not see this here sooner! pr

I disagree. I smoke a fair amount(3 to 4 ounces a month) and use edibles regularly. I too get bleary eyed and a little dizzy from time to time, mainly in the morning. I think thats a normal side effect of imbiding some good herb.
As far as sharing this information with your regular doctor it might not do much good. Because of the nature of cannabis research the vast majority of doctors are not going to have the scientific research available to make a medical decision on the possible effects of cannabis and are likely to just blame it on the cannabis so that they don't look stupid. Its rare for a doctor to just admit that they don't know.

it think it was the weed you smoked and the state of mind you were in.....but i am not a professional anything....as for your vision and over all health go see a doctor.....but its up to you to tell em that you smoked, they are suppose to keep it all a secret. but hey i hope you feel better...one love

[DrWalter]

doubt it had anything to do with bud, this time of year stomach flu, inner ear probs and sinus issues are all common and can cause blurry vision and vertigo

Is it true that some people are allergic to cannabis? Someone told me that one day but they said it was very rare.

[DrWalter]

there are no documented cases, because the strains varies so much and finding someone allergic to a specific strain will be hard but sure it will happen once prohibition is lifted. So far everything is anecdotal.
